Providers of continuing education courses don’t really mind an economic downturn. That’s when their business can really pick up. Why? According to the University Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship in Missouri, key drivers include:
Mergers, acquisitions and closurures are sending more and more highly competent professionals into the job market. Many need to refine or update their skills to be best positioned for future employment.
Service industry jobs feel the pressures of outsourcing, and manufacturing jobs are decreasing. The result: the need for employees to stay current in industry-related skills is critical.
The rapid growth in online learning makes continuing education more convenient for working adults, plus most Americans can expect to change careers at least three to five times and hold 7-12 different positions in their work lifetimes.
